What was the experience of your 1st Baptiste class?

I kept showing up even though it was hard and fell in love with the practice.

Truth: I didn't know I was taking a Baptiste Class and I didn't like it. It was not what I expected and there was "counting." Must have been the breaths? Regardless, I kept showing up. There was an energy of the teachers and students that made me feel at home and I grew to love and understand the counting, the breaths, and the heat. I only took the basic and intro classes for the longest time until one day, a Baptiste Teacher at the studio said, "You can take any class here." And so I did. Empowering.

Why do you Practice Baptiste Yoga?

I love the global community, the teachers, the hugs, what Baron has done to bring more humans to the mat, the trainings, the flow. I love it all.

Why do you teach Baptiste Yoga?

Same. And I love empowering others to get out of their comfort zone like that Baptiste Teacher and many other Baptiste Teachers have done for me throughout the years. Life changing.

My promise (What do you commit to deliver through your teaching/service at BPYG?)

My promise is to inspire students to show up authentically on their mat and therefore in life.
